Steve and Raymond-
Maybe you both took what I said a bit out of context?
I'd never say there was anything in the process of Dao that would decry thinking. We all have brains - and they're very handy things to use.
My stress was on thinking about if what you're doing is "living for yourself or trying to make life better for others."
Is some thinking unnecessary?
